Why the Discrimination?

To the Editor of the Globe.
The Swedish Guards of this city, a
credit to the Swedish citizens of Mime
apoliS, and who have held many promi-
nent positions in the public parades for
the last year, were stabbed in the back
at their last beneficial festivity at Har-
monia hall by some unknown assailantS.
The result is that the committee of ar
rangements will haveto scrap to defray
expenses. The Swedish Guards are
composed of honest toilers, who only can
spare few moments of their entire life
to exercise and amusement, and ought
not to be Disseminated against more
than other citizens of our free republic.

Gregor Menzel and Samuel L. Fer

Take Your ChOice--A Fair Ques-

When your title is assailed, would
you prefer to defend it at your own pains
and expense, with risk of loss in the
end, or have responsible company like
the Title Insurance & Trust cOmpanv
defend it at its own cost and paw yOur
loss for you? The company has a large
capital, superior abstract facilities, and
abundant means of defending titles
when assailed. For moderate fee yOu
can have the benefit of all these for
twenty-five years to come in keeping
you and your heirs from loss and anX-
iety. Probably every one of the MANY
Minneapolis titles recently assailed was

Charges of Incompetency Agains
Street Commissioner.
The case against Str eet Commissioner
Baird, of the Eighth ward. did not come
before the council yesterday as was eX-
pected, but was heard before com
mittee appointed to investigate the mat
ter. Assistant City Attorney Rand was
present. Aid. Cooley opened the ball
by stating that he could prove charges
sufficient to show that Baird was incOm-
petent to hold the Office. He had no de-
sire to perSecute the man, and only
wanted justice done. He read the
charges, and then said that the evidence
ing dishonest, but with mismanagement,
ignorance and incOmpetency. The aid
erman went on to say that Baird had re-
fused to obey an order to lower a side
walk on Lyndale avenue until he knew
where the money to pay for it was COM
ing from; he had countermanded
an order to place danger
lanterns at an excavation, and
at one time incurred ward debts for
81, 800 more than there was in the ward
fund. He refused to make any state
ment to the aldermen, who gave their
notes to cover the amount, as to where
ted that he had signed the foreman'S
name to time checks, but did not know
he was doing wrong. This, Aid. Cooley
claimed. was an instance of glaring in
competency, and that had not Baird
been honest he might have defrauded
the city out of large amount of money.
Foreman Ayers was sworn and cOrrOb-
grated the alderman'S story in regard to
the refusal to lower sidewalk, and to
place lanterns at the excavation.
Assistant City Attorney Rand called
up the time check question in order to
see whether the trouble arose from dis
honesty or ignorance. Aid. Cooley
Immediately shut down ON this by
stating that there was no charge of
fraud, but only of loose prac-
StOneman testified that at different
times he had demanded of Baird state
ment of the ward finances, but, while
Baird had given MIN a few figures, they
were wholly inadequate and explained
nothing. He knew of one case where
Baird had cut down trees on private
property, against his (Stoneman's)
orders.
Commissioner Baird was then placed
on the witness stand. He said he had
signed the time-checks because they
were pdlu Oh Tie signature OF the street
commissioner, and they would have
been paid even if the foreman's sigma
ture was not there. He had counter
manded the orders to place danger Ian
terms at the excavation mentioned by
Aid. Cooley, because he did not think
they were needed. He refused to lower
the sidewalk because he knew there
was not enough money in the ward
fund to pay for it, and he gave as the
reason why he had expended 81 800 over
the amount he should have was because
he was misinformed as to the amount
Oh hand. When he learned that there
was shortage he stopped work. Judge
Rand here held that if Baird had in
quired as to the funds on hand and been
misinfOrmed, he had simply done his
duty. But the committee must deter
mine whether his story was true OF not.
Aid. Lawrence not being present and
Mr.. Baird asking for more time the
committee adjourned for one week.

there were seventy dens of vice
Mr.. Hatch did not make the statement
as a fact, but he made it as safe esti-
mate. He has probably Judged Rock
Island by the Surroundings of his own
town, and his hazardous remark reflects
not only on his entire ignorance OF the
moral condition of Rock Island. but it
leaves it an open question AS to whether
he knows anything of ihe subject gu
which he talks. Rock Island
like any other city has its centres of vice,
but they are very few, rs compared with

Mr. Hatch made, could not be backed up

THE CORN CROP.

Definite Estimates Of the Yield i'm
the Seven Great Producing States.
The corn crop summary, printed in this
weeks issue of the Farmers Review, is as
follows:
Our late reports upon the corn crop, based
on husking now generally completed, show,
as was anticipated, that the estimates OF
yield per acre before husking were generally
too high in the great corn States. In answer
to the question sent to our correspondent,
''Does husking show the corn crop better or
poorer than previous estimatesa" the replies
by States have been as follows:-
Ohio Twenty two counties report the crop
better than estimated, seventeen poorer and
twenty about the same. Indiana Eleven
counties report better than estimated, twenty
nine poorer and eight about the same Illi-
nois- Thirteen report better and sixty-two
poorer. Missouri Nineteen report better,
thirteen poorer and sixteen the same
Iowa-Twenty seven report better, twenty
two poorer and thirty five the same.
Kansas Three counties report better and
thirty-two poorer. Nebraska-Four counties
report better and nineteen poorer. Wisconsin
Nine counties report better, eight poorer
and twelve the same. Minnesota Twelve
counties report better and fifteen poorer.
Michigan Eight counties report better and
ten poorer. Kentucky Seven counties report
better and ten poorer,
